Thom Yorke on Neil Young

Ever wanted to know the real Neil Young? In the new
Observer Music Monthly, the great rock icon talks exclusively to Mark Cooper about his extraordinary career.

This interview was originally conducted for a new BBC documentary, Neil Young: Don't Be Denied, which is on BBC Four on 31 October and 2 November at 10pm. But what's not included in that film is this footage of Radiohead's Thom Yorke talking to camera about his debt to Young.

The Radiohead singer was one of the acts that played at the 2006 Bridge School concert. The concerts, held in Hillsborough, California, are organised annually by Neil Young to raise money for young people with severe speech and physical impairments. At the show Yorke paid tribute to Young by playing After The Goldrush on the piano the song was written on. For more exclusive video visit
